Chapter Twenty-Six: Nothing
Night Dust choked on her, not knowing how to answer.
"The poison in your body that day was not ordinary. I want to know who you are, it's simple. I don't want to check, I'm just worried that once I do, I will involve people who shouldn't be involved and get myself into trouble.
For me, you are a trouble, the reason why I chose to save you in the first place was just to get some money from you, who knew that you were poor like this, just let me do good deeds. ”
Xiao Yihuan still doesn't know why she had the idea of saving him at that time, as if something was guiding her in the dark.
Ye Zhanchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she had a lot of considerations, otherwise I was afraid that she would have found out the identity he had fabricated.
When the time comes, she will touch the melons along the vine, and she will find out a lot of secrets in the capital.
It's really hard to say who will be targeted during this period.
"I can't give you the silver, but I must repay this kindness. You can't guarantee that you'll always be able to go smoothly, right? It's better to keep this little kindness from me, and you can use it in the future. After Ye Zhanchen finished speaking, he waved his hand at her and disappeared into the night.
The investigation in the palace lasted for two hours, but nothing was found, and the emperor had to let everyone go.
When the group returned to the Hou Mansion, Xiao Linglong ran over and knelt in front of Xiao Dehou, pointed at Xiao Yihuan and said, "Daddy, she gave me that clothes, and she hurt me!" ”
"Didn't you order the fourth lady to be locked in the courtyard and think about it behind closed doors? Why don't you do that? Xiao Dehou didn't look like he wanted to care about this matter anymore, and even asked people to send Xiao Linglong back to the courtyard with some disgust.
Xiao Linglong yelled all the way, shouting that she would never give up.
"Yihuan, Linglong has always been such a character, you must not take it to heart. Thanks to you tonight, Concubine Luo was safe and sound. It's great that you'll be able to fall down the Hou Mansion. I don't know when I'll be able to make up for what I've owed you all these years. ”
Owe?
Xiao Yihuan only felt ridiculous and sarcastic when he heard these two words come out of his mouth.
The person he owes has already been killed, and he will never be able to make up for it.
"Daddy, what are these words? It's really tormenting my daughter. The countryside is beautiful, the people are simple, I like it very much, not to mention that there are two grandmothers around to take care of me, and I have never been treated badly. After Xiao Yihuan came back, he never mentioned Grandma Sun.
I thought that the people in this house would eventually remember that there was such a person, but until now, no one has asked.
She had to mention it herself.
"All along, isn't Mama Qiao the only one taking care of you? Where is there a grandma? Xiao Dehou felt strange.
That Mama Qiao was her mother's nursing mother, and when she was sent to the countryside, Mama Qiao was the only one who was willing to take care of her, and went with her.
For so many years, he didn't send anyone over.
"What's the matter, Mama Sun is not from the Hou Mansion? God has treated me so well that he has had someone who is not related to me to take care of me for so many years. Xiao Yihuan saw his reaction, and immediately understood that Grandma Sun was not sent by the Hou Mansion to take care of the original owner.
Instead, someone deliberately put it next to the original owner and harmed the original owner!
"There may be some misunderstanding in this, but since you have returned, don't mention the past." Xiao Dehou said.
Seeing him like that, he was clearly suspicious, but he refused to say it.
This suspicion must have something to do with the person next to him.
Whether Mama Sun is Xu Ruge's person or not, just ask a little bit to know.
"Daddy doesn't want to know, why didn't she come back with her daughter this time?" Xiao Yihuan asked with a smile.
Xiao Dehou looked at the smile on her face, and his heart trembled inexplicably, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only say, "It's not too early, go back and rest." ”
Xiao Yihuan turned around and returned to the Lotus Courtyard.
"Why did the young lady come back at this time?" Mama Qiao heard the movement, got up with her clothes on, and saw that she was back, so she asked with concern.
"There was someone in the palace who had something going on, so I came back late. Don't worry. Xiao Yihuan replied.
Mama Qiao sighed, "The slave maid has always heard that the palace is not a good place, but fortunately, the young lady doesn't have to go there." Although King Chen has become a fool, at least he will not bully Miss. ”
Xiao Yihuan picked up the warm ginseng soup on the kitchen stove and poured a bowl, took a sip before asking, "Do you remember when Grandma Sun came?" ”
Mama Qiao thought about it carefully and said, "Probably half a year after we arrived in the township, she suddenly came, saying that the master was worried about Miss and specially asked her to come over to take care of her." Because she had a letter stamped with the seal of her lord, I left her behind. ”
Xiao Yihuan nodded and muttered, "It seems that she really wasn't sent by Xiao Dehou." ”
"What did Miss say?" Mama Qiao was old, and her ears were not very good, so she couldn't hear what she said clearly.
"It's nothing, Mama go and rest, I'll drink this ginseng soup, it's time to rest." Xiao Yihuan didn't want her to know too much about pickles.
Mama Qiao didn't ask again, turned around and left.
Xiao Yihuan finished drinking the ginseng soup, cleaned up the kitchen, ordered the remaining rewards, and found that there were a few things missing.
The thieves in the house are really not polite at all.
However, what was stolen was all things that she deliberately put here, added materials, and told Mama Qiao not to touch.
Whoever stretches out the hand of a thief will reap the consequences.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yihuan sat in front of the dresser, and before he could wipe the latest essence from the medical hall on his face, he heard someone outside report that the reward in the palace had come.
Needless to say, this reward is for her.
She could only put the essence back into the medical hall and go to the gate of the Hou Mansion to greet her.
It was still Gonggong Li who came, he first took out a jade plate and handed it to Xiao Yihuan, saying that it was given by the emperor, and she could go at any time if she wanted to enter the palace in the future.
Then she read out the emperor's rewards one by one for her to count.
"There is Father-in-law Lao." Xiao Yihuan gave Gonggong Li a thank you gift as usual.
"The third lady doesn't have to be so polite, the slave will leave first." Father-in-law Li said politely and turned to leave.
Xiao Dehou stood aside with a thoughtful expression.
Gonggong Li's "slave" is not something that anyone can afford.
Not even he had been treated like this.
Gonggong Li is the person next to the emperor, and he knows how to observe words and colors, and sees the wind and steers, he must be because of the emperor's attitude.
"What does Daddy like?" Xiao Yihuan felt that if she wanted to establish her prestige in the palace, she first had to make people notice the change in Xiao Dehou's attitude towards her.
So, even if she is reluctant, she still has to please him at the right time.
"Yihuan, although your marriage with King Chen is decided, it is not impossible to change. You don't have to marry him as long as you want. ”
